• Opening an account by personal cheque or electronic payment

In addition to your payment, we will undertake an electronic check of your identity. If you provide us with a photocopy of your passport and / or driving licence this should speed things up. The photocopy of your passport need only be the page that your photograph appears on. The photocopies of your driving licence required are both the photo licence and counterpart document.
